The Accidental Embroiderer

A brand new bag…

First of all, I've had a big influx of new subscribers in the last couple of weeks, so welcome to all of you. I should just explain, though, that not all the designs I post are free – just the ones that have "free" or "freebie" in their title. The others are just for your interest

Like this week's design, for instance. I designed and digitised it for my friend Cherri, who wanted some designs from which she could make bags as Christmas presents for her friends. I did about a dozen of them which I'll be posting over the next few months, and most of them turned out to involve combinations of birds and animals with simple, folk-arty flowers. OK, they're not what you could call sophisticated, but they're fun and colourful

For example, this chicken in the midst of flowers made a very nice bag, and I hope the recipient liked it! Thanks to Cherri for the stitchout and the photo, and also for the idea for the whole series
